To the darkness of time!

Haha this isn't really enough to be worth the wait but whatever! I had it mostly done for a while, but then got distracted by earning the privilege to translate some official Hatoful materials (yaaaay!) and then just distracted in general (y...aaayyy...) But with this the Legumentine's CD is all wrapped up!

I'm not disinterested in translating the Anghel world drama CD, but my attention has strayed to murder mysteries other things recently, so it's possible I might end up translating things from other fandoms before getting around to that. Basically it's more like "indefinitely postponed". don't wait up for meeee

I'm not sure who even checks this journal and/or expects me to keep a regular schedule, but there's really no way I'll finish my translation on time this month without killing myself with stress, so I'm not gonna bother. It will be done when it is done, hopefully within the first half of August! (and the track after that is very long so... we'll see... what happens there)

I'M SORRY THIS IS LATE, I was busy/distracted with other things... I also know there are some weak spots in this translation (like when Tohri is describing his machine's technical specs - I don't know machines in English, let alone Japanese) but!!

Speaking of, there were instances here where I wasn't sure how to attribute the lines, so here is what I decided upon: if a name has a question mark by it ("RYOUTA?" for example) that means it is that character's voice actor speaking, but somehow the words they are saying and the pronouns they are using are highly uncharacteristic...

This is a very short track, but this was a busy month, so in the end I didn't get around to doing any more than this. Maybe next month I will post two tracks at once!

This particular track takes place in one of the Holiday Star AUs--namely, the one used in the shrine visit episodes, where Nageki is in the same grade as the main cast, with all that entails. So there might be mild spoilers if you haven't finished BBL or Holiday Star.

Hello everyone! It's been a while! I've clearly fallen to other things for the past few months, but I've never forgotten this project. And since I really really do want to finish it, I made myself a New Year's Resolution: I will have at least one track translated and posted every month!

However, for various reasons, I've decided to work on the Summer Vacation CD first. This does mean I am skipping an entire CD in the continuity! For now. But I do plan on going back to it. Since Vol. 3 will also be released shortly, my plan for now is Vol. 2 -> Vol. 3 -> Vol. 1. I love you, Anghel, but I'm saving your vocabulary hell for last. If you know absolutely nothing about the second CD (Vol. 1), luckily the drama CD stories are pretty self-contained! But one thing to keep in mind for reading this track is the fact that Sakuya was previously able to meet Nageki due to crazy Anghel-world antics.

If you want the Prologue CD translations, they're under the 'hatoful boyfriend' tag on this very journal.

IT'S ONLY BEEN LIKE FOUR MONTHS SINCE MY LAST POST...................... I don't really have an excuse other than life. There is a lot of pretentious language used in this section though, so as always, feel free to submit any corrections or so on. I... I've already forgotten if I had anything more specific to say about that.

Speaking of pretentious language, I have the second drama CD and I plan on translating that next! I also plan on translating the third one after it comes out/I'm done with the second!! Needless to say this will probably be a similarly drawn-out process.

I can't believe my last post in this journal was in April wargh. I don't know if anyone checks it, but I thought I would drop in a note.

Just in case you were wondering, I haven't totally forgotten about all of the projects I've been hosting here! Life has been relentless in lots of little different ways that have added up into... months, apparently. I would like to start picking everything back up, but there's absolutely no way I can get caught up in everything in a timely manner. Hopefully, I can slowly and steadily slog through the backlog of scans and translations, and I'll try to alternate so I don't get too behind in any one thing.

These are all voluntary projects, but I really do enjoy doing them, so... stay tuned?! I might not have something up right away, but I'm not dead forever.

I knew I would take a long time to do this... 97% of it was pure procrastination, but 3% is being genuinely stumped on some things, so I have some notes this time. And I'm sure there are things that could be improved that don't have notes too, SO, if you notice anything!!

The next post will be the 7th mystery, the epilogue and the bonus track (as in the stupid pigeonspeak, not the OOC cast talk, which I won't translate). This also will probably take an absurdly long time as I roll around in procrastination.

A TRANSLATION HAS APPEARED! Or... half of one. It will probably take me a while to get more tracks out given how long I procrastinated on this, but. WE'LL SEE!

I think that after listening and relistening and obsessively looking up words in dictionaries and on Google, I have come to a translation that I have found satisfactory in accuracy, but please feel free to point out any inaccuracies you may notice. Drama CDs are not my forte...
